Pros

Cons

The Olympus FE-5000 is the top of the line of the Olympus FE series. It has the best optical zoom with 5x. Compared to other cameras on the market, the 5x optical zoom and 10 megapixel resolution is not really top notch. It has Dual Image Stabilisation which is a great feature that keeps pictures from being blurred by accidental movement on the photographers part. It uses Advanced Face Detection Technology, and can pick out up to 16 faces in a photograph, adjusting the focus and the exposure to ensure that those faces get the proper attention. The FE-5000 is the only one in the FE series that has the Smile Shot feature, an ability of the camera to wait to take a picture until everyone is smiling. It has a 6.9cm/2.7" LCD screen and has Perfect Fix, which is used to correct minor faults in the photograph after it has been taken. The FE-5000 is available in either black or gold.
